Expectant Mothers Parking

I finally got up the nerve to park in the expectant mothers parking today.  Thus far it hasn't seemed fair to park there.  After all, it's not like I'm having triplets.  I can walk across the parking lot.  I could probably use the exercise.  But today as I ran to the grocery store to stock up on anything we could possibly need during the next month, I pulled my little car into this coveted spot (and I made to sure unbutton my jacket so people wouldn't think I was faking).

Tomorrow is Induction Day.  We went to the doc yesterday and he said we could either choose to induce or we could wait a couple days.  We chose to induce and are hoping it is the right choice.  A couple months ago we found out Baby Girl only has a two vessel (as opposed to three vessel) umbilical cord.  The umbilical cord normally has two vessels taking blood to the baby and one vessel taking blood away.  This Tiny Baby only has one vessel taking blood to her and one taking blood away which means she gets less blood.  The doc told us there could be complications and thankfully there haven't been any so far.  One concern, however, is that as the pregnancy nears the end, the blood supply will decrease even further and put her into distress.  If she is out here with the rest of us, we can see that she is safe.  If she's still inside, it's harder to be sure and I spend half the day on the couch counting her kicks to make sure she continues to be active.  Plus, if she joins us out here, we finally get to see her face!!

This isn't exactly how I pictured things happening but I guess most things in life are like that.  As long as the end result is a healthy baby, we will be happy.  So, if you think of it and could spare a prayer or two, it would be very much appreciated!
